Here is a sample of professional development workshops on offer:

Powerful Pre-Starts:

The pre-start is one of the most important safety presentations of the shift, but if often feels like groundhog day and as a result, the message doesn’t seem to stick; and your crew come up to you when it’s over to ask you questions which you’ve already covered.

As a leader running the pre-start, you’re up against a lot of hurdles. It’s not easy to keep people engaged and listening on your every word when you’re in a repetitive environment. You’re delivering the pre-start chat at the same time, every day. The workshop environment is the same, the people attending the pre-start are the same, everyone is standing in the place they stood yesterday.

So, how do you make your message stick?

In this half day workshop, your leaders will learn how to deliver a message powerfully in front of a group using a variety of techniques such as eye contact, voice control, breathing, and stance. You’ll learn how to engage your crew using questions, and learn how to hook them into your message within the first minute of 'taking the stage’.

Target audience: Leading hands, Step-ups and Supervisors

Duration: Half day workshop

LAUNCH YOUR PODCAST

You’ve had the idea of starting a podcast for a while now but every time you start to research and give it a go, you’re overwhelmed by all the information out there. You want a simple plan you can follow, a clear step-by-step action plan to start your podcast from scratch (and then joyfully download your episodes in your fav podcast player!).

In this one day workshop, Leanne Hughes from the First Time Facilitator podcast will walk you through the approach she took to start her podcast from concept to launch. After being a fan of the podcasting medium for years, Leanne launched her own show in February 2018. The lessons she gained from the experience are still very fresh in her mind and (being a learning and development person for her day job) she’s keen to share all of this information with you, so you walk out the door with the clarity and tool-kit needed to successfully launch your show.

Workshop structure

Warning: Don’t attend this workshop if you just want to sit back and absorb information.

This is very much a BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop), doing, hands-on workshop. Oh, and we'll also have a tremendous lot of fun while learning all about the podcasting medium.

This workshop has limited numbers (8) to ensure the best learning experience, and the opportunity to answer all of your questions on the day.

Why start a podcast?

The benefits of starting a podcast are priceless, even if you never crack the top 100. As a result of starting her podcast, Leanne has interviewed her author/speaker heroes, met like-minded passionate facilitation folk around the world, developed her interviewing and verbal communication skills, and opened her mind in hundreds of new directions. If you're a business owner, having a podcast is having another asset - to grow your credibility and authority in your market.

Who is this workshop for?

Corporate side hustlers

Business owners

Solopreneurs

People who work in marketing/communications roles for a company (internal podcasts)

Really...just anyone who is curious about starting a podcast, and keen to make as much progress, with as little Googling as possible
